Dog Talk

Welcome to Dog Talk! This is a forum for topics relating to our beloved dogs. They share our homes, our lives, our successes, our failures. We treat them like family because they are. But sometimes we have questions and there seems to be either too many answers or no answers at all. I don't claim to be an expert on anything, but I do have many years of experience with my own dogs and others' dogs, so I thought this would be a good way of sharing information (and my opinions) with people who might be interested.

So, scroll down for links to articles and enjoy the site. If you have questions about anything, or would like to contribute an article, please email me.

Hope you enjoy this page!

MANDATORY SPAY NEUTER - A REALLY BAD IDEA! Are you ready to be forced to have your cuddly new puppy or kitten spayed or neutered before their baby teeth have fallen out? This message is right up front because, in my opinion, if we don't wake up and fight back, we're going to be forced to spay/neuter all of our animals at 16 weeks. Yes, even here in San Diego. Common sense aside, most veterinarians will tell you that's extremely unhealthy (not to mention dangerous: eighteen major universities have produced studies that there are serious health consequences to early spay and neuter); most vets won't do it unless compelled. Here are some important links: Please go to the Concerned Dog Owners of California website (www.cdoca.org) and CDOC-ACTION (www.cdocaction.org) for more information and to help take action against this type of legistlation.

ARE YOU AGAINST CRUELTY TO ANIMALS? Then you need to add your name to the petition to stop Guillermo Vargas Habacuc and the government of Honduras (who is supporting him) to stop purposely starving dogs to death in the name of "art." Click on these links for the Petition ("PaAs" means "country") and to see first hand what we're trying to stop (warning: the Photos are extremely disturbing):

And now, a few words from our Sponsor! :o)

WOW! Did you know that there's a national club where every dog can join in events and become a titled champion no matter what breed or mix he or she is? It's true! Check out the National All-Breed Sporting Association. Luratics is a member and more clubs are joining every day, so check that site often!
